Igualando el número de victorias del legendario Ayrton Senna en Fórmula 1, el neerlandés Max Verstappen (Red Bull) se impuso el pasado domingo con rotundidad en el Gran Premio de Canadá, por delante de Fernando Alonso y Lewis Hamilton, que se batieron en un emocionante pulso.
El español defendió su segunda posición de salida en Montreal hasta sumar su sexto podio de la temporada mientras el mexicano Sergio Pérez (Red Bull) volvió a decepcionar al quedarse en la sexta posición.
Verstappen, lanzado por su tercer título mundial consecutivo, estuvo en cabeza de principio a fin en el circuito Gilles Villeneuve y celebró su sexta victoria en las ocho carreras disputadas en esta temporada, que también fue el triunfo número 100 de Red Bull en la Fórmula 1.
En su cuenta particular, Verstappen sumó la victoria 41 de su carrera igualando a una leyenda de la Fórmula 1 como el brasileño Ayrton Senna, fallecido en un accidente en el GP de San Marino en 1994. Por delante sólo tiene a Alain Prost (51 victorias), Sebastian Vettel (53) y los siete veces campeones Michael Schumacher (91) y Hamilton (103).
Max Verstappen put in another dominant performance to win the Canadian Grand Prix last Sunday, bringing him level with Formula One legend Ayrton Senna’s victory total. Verstappen led from start to finish to claim his sixth win in eight races – it maintains Red Bull’s 100% winning record this season with Sergio Pérez winning the other two races – and his 41st career victory.
The 25-year-old ties Senna’s career victory total, with the win also being Red Bull’s 100th team victory. It also extends his lead atop this year’s driver’s championship standings to 69 points.
Aston Martin’s Fernando Alonso finished 9.5 seconds behind Verstappen in second place with Mercedes’ Lewis Hamilton completing the top three.
“Of course, I’m very happy right now. It was not a very straightforward race, because the tires were not really getting in their window,” Verstappen said immediately after the race.
Verstappen now sits fifth in the alltime F1 winners list tied with the legendary Brazilian driver, behind Alain Prost, Sebastian Vettel, Michael Schumacher, and Hamilton who sits atop the standings with 103 race victories.
